Smith versus Wellesley versus McGill

Here’s the deal…

I was accepted to Smith and McGill, waitlisted at Wellesley. I plan to study French, and cost really isn’t a huge issue (although McGill is a great deal).

Size is also not a huge factor. Smith and Wellesley are both approximately 2,500 UG, whereas McGill has 20,000!

I love the areas surrounding Smith (artsy town), and McGill (Montreal!). Wellesley isn’t quite as nice in my opinion, but it runs hourly buses to Boston.

I think I’m asking more about prestige here. Wellesley seems to be the most well-known of the 3 (but I’m technically not in…) McGill has a great international rep, but isn’t that known in the US. Neither is Smith, it seems.

Any opinions?
